Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit election-bound Bihar apart from Madhya Pradesh and Assam between Sunday and Tuesday.

A PMO statement read that Modi would lay the foundation stone of Bageshwar Dham Medical and Science Research Institute in Chattarpur, MP, where he would also inaugurate the Global Investors Summit-2025 in Bhopal. In Bihar’s Bhagalpur, he would inaugurate and dedicate to the nation various development projects and release the 19th instalment of PM KISAN, it added.

He will also inaugurate Advantage Assam 2.0 Investment and Infrastructure Summit-2025 and attend the Jhumoir Binandini (Mega Jhumoir) 2025 programme in Guwahati.

In Bhagalpur, over 9.7 crore farmers across the country will receive direct financial benefits amounting to more than Rs 21,500 crore. “A significant focus of the PM has been on ensuring that farmers are able to get better remuneration for their produce. With this in mind, on 29th February, 2020, he launched the Central sector scheme for formation and promotion of 10,000 farmer producer organisations (FPO) that collectively help farmers market and produce their agricultural products. Within five years, this commitment of the PM to the farmers has been fulfilled, with him marking the milestone of the formation of the 10,000th FPO in the country during the programme,” an official statement read.

He will also inaugurate the centre of excellence for indigenous breeds in Motihari, built under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission. Its major objectives include introduction of cutting edge IVF technology, production of elite animals of indigenous breeds for further propagation, and training of farmers and professionals in modern reproductive technology.
